Do Nigerians Have Their Own Distinct Look ? by Nobody: 11:04pm On Jun 10, 2017
I am a first generation American citizen and both my parents are from edo state. Growing up Americans were always shocked that I was African, I assumed it was just because of their own ignorance, so I never paid it any attention.But lately even my other Nigerian friends have been insisting that I don't look Nigerian because of my curly hair(I will post pictures) and features. They insist that I must have a mixture somewhere down the line. Even though the two of my parents are Nigerian !(deleted pics because my question has been answered no need to reply)

Maybe because you have a very strong accent.
